Time Management

Purpose

The Time Management component offers you support in performing all human resources processes involving the planning, recording, and valuation of employees’ work performed and absence times.

Implementation Considerations

You can select the scope of functions individually within Time Management. It encompasses:

·         Simple administration of leave and illness times

·         Planning of workforce requirements

·         Valuation of attendance and absence times for the management of time accounts and determination of overtime and bonus wage types.

·         Processing of incentive wage data (for example, piecework wage).

Time Management supports online data entry, time recording systems, and other self-service applications. All data is processed in the same way, regardless of the data entry method.

Time Management supports centralized data entry by time data administrators, decentralized data entry by production supervisors, for example, or by employees themselves.
